Basic Electronics & Basic Programming

Electronics is one of the key foundational skills to teach kids since a basic understanding of electronics is essential to move on to many great computing and robotics projects. However, it is challenging to teach this to kids in an intuitive way and there are many robotics products like Lego Mindstorms where the electronic components are very modular and allow kids to piece components together without understanding the electronics behind them. We teach kids the fundamentals of basic electronics using D.I.Y kits where they build basic circuits, solar cars, RC Cars and many more.

For basic programming we introduce kids to SCRATCH Programming. Scratch is a programming language and an online community where children can program and share interactive media such as stories, games, and animation with people from all over the world. As children create with Scratch, they learn to think creatively, work collaboratively, and reason systematically.

Arduino

Arduino is an open-source platform used for building electronics projects. Arduino consists of both a physical programmable circuit board (often referred to as a microcontroller) and a piece of software, or IDE (Integrated Development Environment) that runs on your computer, used to write and upload computer code to the physical board.

The Arduino IDE uses a simplified version of C++, making it easier to learn to program. We teach kids the fundamentals of basic electronics in cooperated with programming to create cool mechanisms & robots.

Raspberry Pi

The Raspberry Pi is a low cost, credit-card sized computer that plugs into a computer monitor or TV, and uses a standard keyboard and mouse. It is a capable little device that enables people of all ages to explore computing, and to learn how to program in languages like Scratch and Python.

The Raspberry Pi has the ability to interact with the outside world, and has been used in a wide array of digital maker projects, from music machines and parent detectors to weather stations and tweeting birdhouses with infra-red cameras. We teach kids the fundamentals of basic electronics in cooperated with programming to create cool mechanisms & robots.

Drones

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVS), also known as drones, are aircraft either controlled by ‘pilots’ from the ground or increasingly, autonomously following a pre-programmed mission. The drone industry has been rapidly growing these past few years. To keep up with the pace of this growth we provide classes on how to build a drone and fly them with proper guidance.
